Journal ArticleDOI
A core gut microbiome in obese and lean twins
Peter J. Turnbaugh,Micah Hamady,Tanya Yatsunenko,Brandi L. Cantarel,Alexis E. Duncan,Ruth E. Ley,Mitchell L. Sogin,William J. Jones,Bruce A. Roe,Jason P. Affourtit,Michael Egholm,Bernard Henrissat,Andrew C. Heath,Rob Knight,Jeffrey I. Gordon +14 more
TL;DR: The faecal microbial communities of adult female monozygotic and dizygotic twin pairs concordant for leanness or obesity, and their mothers are characterized to address how host genotype, environmental exposure and host adiposity influence the gut microbiome.
Journal ArticleDOI
The human microbiome project.
Peter J. Turnbaugh,Ruth E. Ley,Micah Hamady,Claire M. Fraser-Liggett,Rob Knight,Jeffrey I. Gordon +5 more
TL;DR: A strategy to understand the microbial components of the human genetic and metabolic landscape and how they contribute to normal physiology and predisposition to disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pyrosequencing-based assessment of soil pH as a predictor of soil bacterial community structure at the continental scale.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the structure of soil bacterial communities is predictable, to some degree, across larger spatial scales, and the effect of soil pH on bacterial community composition is evident at even relatively coarse levels of taxonomic resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of mammals and their gut microbes
Ruth E. Ley,Micah Hamady,Catherine A. Lozupone,Catherine A. Lozupone,Peter J. Turnbaugh,Rob Roy Ramey,J. Stephen Bircher,Michael L. Schlegel,Tammy A. Tucker,Mark D. Schrenzel,Rob Knight,Jeffrey I. Gordon +11 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that host diet and phylogeny both influence bacterial diversity, which increases from carnivory to omnivory to herbivory; that bacterial communities codiversified with their hosts; and that the gut microbiota of humans living a modern life-style is typical of omnivorous primates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial Community Variation in Human Body Habitats Across Space and Time
Elizabeth K. Costello,Christian L. Lauber,Micah Hamady,Noah Fierer,Noah Fierer,Jeffrey I. Gordon,Rob Knight,Rob Knight +7 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the microbiota, although personalized, varies systematically across body habitats and time; such trends may ultimately reveal how microbiome changes cause or prevent disease.
